Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 140:
Chapter 140 – Lord of Pestilence (3)
“I see you are really dedicated to your studies . ”
“No, I’m not asking, because of that… . ”
“Stop trying to rush me too much . He’ll be coming out sometime today . ”
“No . I’m not trying to rush you… . ”
Sunggoo had wanted to ask if the Lich was needed in solving this current situation .
“I’ll make a guarantee . ”
Ah . Sunggoo felt uneasy .
“You just have to survive . ”
Woojin put his hand on Sunggoo’s shoulder .
“Then you will become the best Flame magician . ”
“Hyung-nim… . ”
He didn’t get why his life be threatened just from learning magic… .
“Go rest a little bit more . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin strode towards the hiccuping Holy Maiden . As if she was guilty of something, the Holy Maiden flinched in surprise . She didn’t know what to do with herself .
“Were you just reciting my history?”
“I…I’ve committed a grave sin!”
The Holy Maiden fell to her knees, and she bowed her head . Woojin reacted by putting on a sour expression .
“…unless you really want to die, why don’t you get up?”
She was a priestess, who was chosen to serve her goddess . She was the Holy Maiden yet she kept bowing to him . When the Holy Maiden tried to keep proper decorum towards him by bowing to him, it felt as if he was being treated the same as a **** . He didn’t like it .
He was human .
“Yes . ”
The Holy Maiden abruptly got up . Woojin frowned as he asked her a question . He didn’t care if she was talking about him from behind his back .
He was more interested in Alphen’s history .
“The first Dungeon was linked to Alphen around 200 years ago?”
“Yes . You are correct . ”
“When did the Dimensional lords start to indiscriminately invade Alphen?”
“It was around 100 years ago . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin made some mental calculations about the timeline, and he frowned .
The first Dungeon formed 5 years ago on earth . The Dimensional lords started to show up after 5 years . It was progressing too fast .
“So Alphen held out for 100 years? How long do you think earth will be able to hold out?”
“The Dungeons of Alphen and earth can’t be compared . So asking for a prediction is a bit…”
“Mmmm… . ”
Earth’s communication network was much superior .
If something happened on the planet, the whole world would know about it the next day . That was how advanced the communication network on earth was .
However, people of earth weren’t fighting as one . They were having trouble unifying .
Information traveled slower on Alphen, but there had been figures, who had been able to coordinate and control the people . These beings were able to lead the hearts of men . They were able to rally the people towards a specific direction .
Woojin looked towards Melody, who was the Holy Maiden of the Aria Church .
“I have a task for you . ”
“What is it?”
“I want you to help Sooah awaken . ”
“…… . ”
His words surprised Melody . She looked up at Woojin with rabbit eyes .
It wasn’t a simple task to relay the words of a **** . Melody had personal experience regarding this, so she was more informed than anyone else .
“Are you sure about this?”
“Well, I have no choice . ”
He didn’t have much choice . This was for his dongsaeng and earth .
“We need a glue to hold us all together . ”
“…… . ”
Melody silently agreed with Woojin’s words .
He had tried to become the essential glue that held all the people together . He had tried to use his overwhelming power and overbearing actions to lead the people . However, the world was crumbling faster around him .
Earth would fall from within before Woojin could gain control over the Roused .
Morality would crumble . Hopelessness and despair would spread across the world . He needed to give the people hope and trust .
Woojin had been found lacking .
His dongsaeng was a God’s Seed .
He didn’t know which **** would appear .
It might be one of the god, whom people worshipped for a long time . It could also be a forgotten ancient god, who no one could identify… .
She could be chosen by some unknown **** . Sooah’s fate would be harsh, but she didn’t have a choice . Woojin couldn’t do anything for her .
“Sooah has to survive . ”
The God’s Seed couldn’t be denied unless one died .
“What if it is an evil god?”
“Pfft . ”
Woojin laughed in spite of himself .
“You think gods are divided by good and evil?”
“…… . ”
“If you believe them then they are good . If not, they are evil . ”
“…… . ”
As the Holy Maiden of Aria, she didn’t want to hear such words from the Immortal . However, she didn’t have the courage to dispute his claim .
“There is no such thing as an evil **** . Go help Sooah awaken . ”
She could help the God’s Seed sprout without Sooah going insane .
The Holy Maiden Melody possessed the power of Aria, so this was something only she could do .
“Understood . ”
When he heard the Holy Maiden’s reply, Woojin turned to look at the rampaging monsters .
“Well, shall I go hunt a dragon?”
Woojin grinned as he looked at the Gold Dragon perched atop Namsan .
“I’ll help you . ”
Woojin shook his head when Sunggoo stood up immediately .
“Haesol and you can clear the monsters near here . ”
“Understood . ”
It was unfortunate, but Woojin had made the call . It meant this was too dangerous for him . Sunggoo didn’t overextend himself for no reason . Roused worked with their life on the line, and nothing was more dangerous than reckless bravado .
Woojin was going to catch one Dragon . It wasn’t a big deal, so he didn’t need to take all of his companions .
He needed 10 Death Knights to distract the Dragon . Dolsae would steadily attack, and Bibi will use her mental attacks to cause confusion . He would also be attacking . He didn’t need anyone else .
However, the monsters had spread out far with Nasan as the staging point . His familiars had to cover a large region, so they were all busy .
“Or I could just call on Jaenis . ”
His EXP was surging towards the end .
He just needed couple minutes, and his EXP would be filled .
Potential EXP was all around him .
He was actually delighted that the Dungeon Breaks were concentrated around Seoul . His Undead army was able to hunt down the monsters, and his EXP was stacking at a very fast rate .
Woojin ran into the battlefield himself . He wanted to shorten the time it took for him to level up .
Shwahhhk!
Woojin extended his hand, and the Bone Spears pierced through the monsters like they were made out of cloth .
Ooh-ooh-oong!
The Spirit Spears shot down the swift bat monsters from the sky . The bat monsters kept dodging, but the Spirit Spears chased them down .
Kwah-jeek!
After gaining the Warrior Class, his most frequently used weapon was the axe . His axe split open the heads of the monsters . He didn’t have to work too hard to end the lives of the monsters .
Each engagement resulted in corpses stacking up around Woojin .
Were the monsters sick of his overwhelming force?
Woojin grinned when he saw the monsters showing signs of retreating .
“Where do you think you are going?”
Chwa-roo-rook!
There were numerous corpses here . There were a lot of corpses with bones within them .
He could use the corpses as medium to form the Wall of Bones . Woojin blocked the retreat of the monsters, and Woojin’s power exploded forth .
Poo-hwah-hahk!
With Woojin at the center, a green smoke started to spread outwards, and it started to poison the monsters . The Insect type monsters all died from the poison . He didn’t even have to raise his Weapon .
If he didn’t have to worry about his allies, Woojin’s battle style was peerless . This battle style had been passed on to Hong-sunggoo .
“Rise!”
Poo-hwhak!
The corpses around Woojin exploded . Blood and body parts flew everywhere, and over 200 Skeleton Mages were summoned . Each of their levels were high enough to be close in ability to a Rank B Roused .
Each of their magic spells were dangerous . The only shortcoming was the fact that their magic were simple . They could only use magic of a single element .
They could only use a single magic spell, but this didn’t mean there weren’t a variety of magic being used . This was the case when several dozen to several hundred of them were summoned . He summoned Skeleton Magicians able to use Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind or Poison type magic . He was able to create a diverse mage army .
“Bomb them!”
Kee-keek .
The Skeletons let out a hair-raising laugh, and they started to let loose their magic . The Death Knights had some room to breathe thanks to Woojin’s active role in the battle . The Death Knights moved the Skeleton army to surround the monsters . They created a large perimeter around Namsan .
99 . 9%
He was almost there . However, at that moment, the Dragon pushed off the Namsan tower to head towards Woojin . It seemed the Dragon realized he couldn’t just let this be . When the Dragon left the Namsan tower, one could see vines encircling the entire tower .
It seemed the Dragon was trying to make the Namsan tower his colony .
It still need a day to become functional . Woojin had plenty of time to kill the dragon then destroy the colony .
The Dragon was high up in the sky, and its stomach was inflating .
“This might be a problem . ”
Will he be able to block the Dragon’s Breath?
Woojin would be fine . His Spirit Armor would protect him . However, the people around him… . What will he do about the people in Alandal?
<Level Up!>
This was a very welcome sound . Woojin immediately called for him .
“Jaenis . ”
It was his teacher, who had taught him the ways of slaughter and boldness .
He had helped Woojin with creating destruction . He was Woojin’s top advisor, who had helped him reign .
He had once been called a great scholar and an Archmage on Alphen .
To save Alphen from crumbling, he had made himself a Lich, and he had been taken captive by madness .
The Deathless Magician .
Shwahkkk!
The black smoke coalesced in midair . He was a Skeleton wearing a black robe, and he had a black staff in his hand . He wore similar looking clothes as the Skeleton Mage, but unlike the Skeleton mages, he had an oppressive presence .
His red eyes flashed .
[Master! Was Alphen saved?]
His voice buzzed, and the sound had the power of shaking a person’s heart . The hair raising sound was akin to a train coming to an emergency stop .
Woojin touched his itchy ears as he spoke .
“Not yet . How about blocking that for me first?”
Woojin pointed to the sky . The Golden Dragon Rajakui had inflated to a massive size, and it was about to let out its Dragon’s Breath .
[Where did my power disappear to?]
“Oh yeah . ”
Woojin quickly opened his Skill Window, and he invested Bonus Points into the ‘Lich Summon’ skill . In a flash, the 1 became 99 . Jaenis body flashed several times, and his body went through several changes .
The black robe was now imprinted with glowing magical circles, and it was letting out a mysterious atmosphere . The head of the staff was embedded with 5 types of gems, and it was letting out a dazzling light .
Pooh-ah-ah-ah!
It sounded as if a pressure cooker was being opened . If one listened with one’s eyes closed that was what it sounded like .
The source of the sound was the Dragon’s Breath that had been emitted from Rajakui’s mouth . It was heading towards the surface .
Jaenis created a concave shield to block out the entire sky .
Kwah-kwah-kwahng .
It was a barrier made out of magic, and it pressed up against the Dragon’s barrier . A shockwave exploded forth as if a nuclear bomb had gone off . However, most of it was reflected towards the sky . The damage on the ground was minimal .
“You were right on time . ”
[Does Yong Yong need a friend?]
“He’s Trahnet’s minion . He’s useless to me . Just kill him . ”
When a Dimensional lord was killed, the corpse wasn’t left behind . It would just disappear as it let out a gray light . Wouldn’t one need the corpse to make a Bone Dragon?
[What about ‘Thrash’s Executioner’?]
“I searched for it, but I couldn’t find it . ”
He had searched through the Achievement Store and the Dimensional Store, but the Executioner was missing . Amongst Thrash’s set item, the Executioner was the weapon . The recipe was also missing, so he had no idea if it really existed or not . It was an odd weapon .
Jaenis continued to tell Woojin that he had to continue his search for the weapon .
While the two were having a conversation, the Dragon slowly descended .
Rajakui glared at the Undead Magician, who had blocked its Dragon’s Breath .
He never expected to find such a strong Lich on earth .
[The earth isn’t synchronized yet . How were you able to gain such power as a Roused from earth?]
Rajakui’s words made Lich’s red eyes gleam .
[Disgusting!]
Jaenis’ anger toward Trahnet exceeded one’s imagination .
Woojin shrugged his shoulders .
“We’ll talk after you kill that thing . ”
[As the lord commands!]
The Lich was willful as he switched between using master and lord .
It couldn’t be helped . Woojin hadn’t made this being . The Lich had existed on its own for 200 years before he had become Woojin’s familiar . Woojin was just thankful and reassured by the fact that Jaenis followed his order .
[Burn to death by the Inferno!]
Hwah-roo-roo-roohk!
A black fire shot out from Jaenis’ staff, and it impacted on Rajakui’s wing . This was a fire comparable to the flames within **** . It was a type of hellfire, and Jaenis’ lightning quick casting time was almost unbelievable .
[Koo-oohk?]
Hwah-roo-roohk .
Its wing caught on fire, and its summoned magic couldn’t put out the fire . The fire was spreading across its entire body .
Hoo-ooh-oohg, hoo-ooh-oohg!
The Dragon’s wings was beating hard enough to send the cars flying across the street . The windows were ripped off the buildings, and the Skeleton Magicians were sent flying every which way . .
Koo-ah-ahng!
The Dragon desperately flapped its wings in the air before it crashed to the ground . After flattening several buildings, the Dragon finally came to a stop .
It had barely been able to extinguish the hell’s conflagration .
If it hadn’t been a dragon… It would have burned until its life was extinguished .
[How dare you! You dare enrage me!]
It had linked to earth with a light heart, and it never expected to suffer such a humiliation .
[This parlor trick won’t be able to withstand my rage!]
It was caught off guard, so the **** fire had easily struck it . It was serious now, so it wouldn’t fall for the **** fire again .
It was going to destroy the entire city .
Koo-uh-uh-uh!
The Dragon’s wings smoked as it let out a roar . It stood on all four legs . The dreadful Fear made all beings shake from terror .
The Lich didn’t have ears, so he didn’t budge an inch . He just stood there in front of the Dragon .
[Goo-ha-ha . Was I lacking in firepower?]
Magic extended out from the Lich’s Staff .
Hwah-roo-roohk .
From the Dragon’s surrounding, fountain of flames rose up . Flames had pierced up from the ground, and the flames were blossoming into a flower . Heads appeared from the red hot lava .
These were Dragons with 9 heads, who had fallen into the fires of **** to be tortured .
The Hydra had been summoned by Jaenis .
Kwahkhhhh!
To be precise, he had summoned 100 of them .
Nine hundred heads opened its jaws, and they headed towards Rajakui .
